Jesus takes the initiative in calling us to become his disciples. The question is “Will we pay attention to our lives and respond with a 'yes' when our moment comes?" As an example, Jesus calls Andrew and the unnamed disciple to follow him in the words “Come and see." Andrew then later invites his brother Simon to come check out the new found Messiah. Jesus then invites Simon to join his group, symbolized in the change of his name to Peter. Similarly, Jesus invites us to become his disciples and friends. It is up to us how we will respond. This is the challenge and opportunity of our lives.
